Grief Therapy in
Magnolia, TX
Grief doesn't follow a timeline and it doesn't always look like sadness. It can look like anger, numbness, exhaustion, or showing up to work every day while something inside you is completely shattered. Society will tell you to move on. I won't. You just need space to actually feel it — and someone willing to sit in it with you.

Understanding Grief
Grief doesn't always look like what you expect.
Sometimes it looks like numbness. Like going through the motions while feeling completely disconnected from your own life. Sometimes it looks like irritability, snapping at people you love because there's nowhere to put all of this feeling. Sometimes it looks like relief, which can come with its own complicated guilt.
Grief can also look like physical symptoms — fatigue, heaviness in the chest, a literal ache. This is because grief lives in the body, not just the mind. Your nervous system has registered a loss, and it responds accordingly.
You might be grieving a death. But you might also be grieving a divorce, a friendship that ended badly, a version of your family you thought you'd have, or a chapter of your life that closed before you were ready. Grief is grief. And all of it deserves space.
What We Work Through Together
Grief therapy can help with all kinds of loss
Death & Bereavement
Losing someone you love is one of the most profound experiences a human can have. Grief therapy creates space to mourn fully, at your own pace, without a timeline.
Relationship Loss
Divorce, breakups, or the ending of a significant friendship — these losses are real and they deserve the same care as any other grief.
Identity & Life Stage Loss
Grieving a version of yourself, a path not taken, a diagnosis that changes everything, or a life you imagined but didn't get.
Family Loss & Estrangement
Losing a family relationship through estrangement, conflict, or distance can carry a particular kind of grief — one that often goes unacknowledged.
Ambiguous Loss
Grieving someone who is still alive but no longer present — through dementia, addiction, or emotional distance — is one of the least validated forms of grief.
Trauma-Linked Grief
When loss is sudden, violent, or complicated by trauma, grief requires a trauma-informed approach that addresses both the loss and its impact on the nervous system.
My Approach to Grief
Grief therapy that goes
beneath the surface
At Align Counseling, grief therapy isn't about moving through stages on a timeline. It's about creating a space where you can actually feel what you've been pushing down, understand how it's showing up in your body and your relationships, and start to build a life that holds the loss without being consumed by it.
I use a somatic, trauma-informed approach — which means we pay attention to how grief lives in your body, not just your thoughts. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), we also look at the different parts of you that are responding to loss: the part that's devastated, the part that's numb, the part that's trying to keep everything together.
There is no right way to grieve. My job isn't to guide you through stages or toward an endpoint — it's to create a space safe enough for you to meet your grief honestly, and to stay present with you while you do.
Common Questions
Grief therapy FAQ
There's no expiration date on grief. Many people seek therapy years after a loss because the grief resurfaces, or because they never had space to process it the first time. Wherever you are, therapy can meet you there.
That's exactly what therapy is for. You don't need to come in with the right words. Sometimes grief starts with silence, or with something unrelated that leads us back to the loss. I'll help you find language for what you're carrying.
Yes. Complicated grief — feeling relief, anger, numbness, or grief about someone you had a difficult relationship with — is some of the hardest grief to carry because it feels like you're not allowed to feel it. There's no judgment here. All of it belongs.
